  6. I’m so sorry to see this news and only found trying to track him down for a long overdue chat. Ray and I were in South Korea together and stayed in touch for about 20 years but life seemed to get in the way. I came out to visit right after the service and had a blast with him and our mutual friend Les Bollig I drug along. I’m pretty sure I introduced him to Bonnie. I’ll never forget drinking beer in the back yard and him saying “let’s box”, interesting stuff you did in Minot. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to try and reconnect.

    God speed my friend!
